I identify with this guy's frustration and inability to control his fury at moments. I even identify with the way that this guy covers up a lot with humour. So yeah, it's interesting.
Being an actor, you always feel like you're swimming upstream. People are going, "No, they don't like you. They don't like the way you look. They don't like how old you are."
I grew up in a family where the internalized understanding was that the kids were going to grow up into a better world. I worry, because I don't think my kids are going to have that. The world is very scary. The world would be scary without the choices the current administration made, but they just exacerbated it. And it ticks me off. I want my kids to have a good life.
We all go through life bristling at our external limitations, but the most difficult chains to break are inside us.
Help us show children around the world that we can make a difference together.
Take action. You can either be a passive victim of circumstance or you can be the active hero of your own life. Action is the antidote to apathy and cynicism and despair. You will inevitably make mistakes but at the end of your days, you will be remembered for your gallop, not for your stumble.
You don't want your credibility banana to turn brown, but you do want to speak out about what you believe in.
Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.
Take action. Every story you've ever connected with, every leader you've ever admired, every puny little thing that you've ever accomplished is the result of taking action. You have a choice. You can either be a passive victim of circumstance or you can be the active hero of your own life.
At the end of your days, you will be judged by your gallop, not by your stumble.
Alan Greenspan once said to me . . . that he was really upset that when our Fed chairman died, nobody cared. It wasn't even the 'A' story.
Just shut up and entertain me, meat puppet.
Being on the show, you get this bizarre political credibility, which is embarrassing and unearned, because we're just actors doing a show.
Love means never having to say you're a zero.
